About Sher Bagh

Sher Bagh is a tented camp that sits on the border of the famous Ranthambhore Tiger Preserve in Rajasthan, India. No luxuries were spared in designing the accommodations here. The atmosphere of Sher Bagh was inspired by the safari camps of the 1920s, which were used by the local princes and by celebrities who were visiting the beautiful, wildlife-filled forests of Rajasthan. Even the “campaign-style” furnishings hearken back to this Golden Age.
Each of the twelve tents is fronted by its own private verandah.

Sher Bagh is a tented camp that sits on the border of the famous Ranthambhore Tiger Preserve in Rajasthan, India. No luxuries were spared in designing the accommodations here. The atmosphere of Sher Bagh was inspired by the safari camps of the 1920s, which were used by the local princes and by celebrities who were visiting the beautiful, wildlife-filled forests of Rajasthan. Even the “campaign-style” furnishings hearken back to this Golden Age.

Each of the twelve tents is fronted by its own private verandah. There is a garden at the center of Sher Bagh, and an airy main pavilion that offers the ideal setting for relaxing between tiger-spotting expeditions through the surrounding landscapes. The main lodge features an upper-level lounge, dubbed the Library Bar, where guests can relax without losing sight of the stunning scenery around the camp. Amenities like air conditioned tents and wireless internet provide modern convince without detracting from the tangible feeling of classic luxury that is infused in every aspect of Sher Bagh.

Dining is as much of a highlight as the accommodations. Western-style lunches and Indian dinners are both on the menu, and many of the ingredients for the meals are sourced from the onsite herb and vegetable gardens. Another unique Sher Bagh experience is “live cooking,” where guests are invited to participate in the meal’s preparation so that they can take a new knowledge of authentic Indian cuisine home with them.

Sher Bagh’s Jungle Spa is yet another luxurious element that makes this five-star safari camp so attractive. Sitting under an ancient peepal tree, the tented spa offers full body massages and traditional Indian reflexology treatments.

And then there is the main reason people choose Sher Bagh: the wildlife safaris that seek out the Ranthambhore Tiger Preserve’s namesake animal. Skilled trackers and guides accompany guests on every drive to make sure that you catch sight of the famed felines during your stay. The safari checklist includes dozens of exotic animals such as jaguars, sloths, mongoose, pythons, cobras, crocodiles and various species of deer.
